Job Description: Controller

American Financial Management | Remote, Chicago, Los Angeles

We’re seeking an experienced controller to oversee the timely and accurate financial processes and reporting for American Financial Management (AFM), an established and quickly growing leader in the commercial collections business. As a strong communicator and skilled financial analyst, this person will streamline our budgeting, payroll, and financial reporting processes. The controller will also produce thorough financial reports for senior managers and the executive team to help improve our operational efficiency and aid in our continued growth.

About AFM

We believe the right collections partner is a financial competitive edge most businesses are lacking. We’re more than piecemeal debt collection. We’re an attorney-backed, data-science-driven, future-focused company you can relate to. We’re real partners providing real insight, real integration and we get results. Our track record shows that once businesses switch to working with us, they don’t leave.

  • Provide comprehensive financial updates to senior managers by evaluating, analyzing, and reporting appropriate data points
  • Guide financial decisions by applying company policies and procedures to current economic landscape
  • Develop, implement, and maintain financial controls and guidelines
  • Achieve budgeting goals with proper scheduling, analysis, and corrective actions
  • Help develop and support short- and long-term operational strategies
Responsibilities
  • Maintain internal safeguards for revenue receipts, costs, and team and organizational budgets and actual expenditures
  • Establish (in coordination with CFO) financial and operating benchmarks, budgets, program monitoring, and reporting standards on biweekly, monthly, and annual basis
  • Implement consistent accounting policies, practices, and procedures across all programs, adhering to national and local legal standards while remaining knowledgeable of proposed legislation
  • Develop and enforce internal controls to maximize protection of company assets, policies, procedures, and workflows
  • Support executive team strategic planning around corporate taxes, corporate development, and new lines of business
  • Oversee and support accounting team with dynamic leadership that creates an environment of trust and productivity
Required skills and qualifications
  • Ten or more years of professional accounting experience
  • Strong understanding of banking processes and financial data analysis
  • Excellent knowledge of GAAP accounting regulations and procedures.
  • Hands-on experience with accounting software (we use QuickBooks Online[NB1] ).
  • Strong Excel skills
  • Experience with general ledger functions like journal entries, amortization, and bank reconciliation.
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills.
  • Working knowledge of national and local tax regulations and compliance reporting
  • Experience in managing payroll, with focus on streamlining accounting processes
  • Exemplary history of financial project management
Preferred skills and qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in business, accounting, or related field
  • Five or more years of experience as a senior-level accounting or finance manager
  • Professional certification, such as CPA (certified public accountant) or CA (chartered accountant)

AFM offers competitive compensation, 401K, medical, dental and vision insurance, and unlimited PTO.
